JCS - Scientific Program

Excursion -- Visiting World Heritage in Nara

Nara was the capital of Japan from 710 to 784. So we have many beautiful architectures and items of those days which are historically and culturally important. Some of them are registered to the UNESCO World Heritage "Historic Monuments of Ancient Nara". They locate near Todaiji Culture Center where the JCS Symposium is held. Let's walk around and experience Japanese old cultures!

Tentative plan is as follows.

Schedule: 8:50 am -- 16:00 pm, Dec. 6 (Fri.)
Excursion Fee: 3,000 Yen, which includes entrance fees of temples and shrine and lunch fee.
Course: (Hotel Nikko Nara -->) Kohfuku-ji Temple --> lunch at Yumekaze Plaza --> Todai-ji Temple --> Nigatsu-do Hall --> Wakakusa-Yama Hill --> Kasuga Taisha Shrine
The guides speaking in English will explain about the spots.

The starting place is Hotel Nikko Nara. But if it is convenient for you, you can join from Kohfuku-ji Temple. Our staffs will be waiting at both places.
